Hmm, why couldn't this work?
I made an earth battery a while back, just a big iron bolt in one part of the yard, and a couple feet away a big copper rod. Connect them in series with an LED and it'll glow 24/7. As long as the soil is moist anyway.
>>109073301The problem with Matt Ferrell is that he gets enough things right to appear smart, but he is WAY too credulous about claims made by companies and researchers who are pushing their own hype.Because he tries to cover the cutting-edge, he isn't "undecided", he's picrel.He's decent at presenting. If he just explained established technologies, he might have more competition and get fewer views, but he wouldn't be awful. But as it stands I can't bother with his stuff.
>>109073553>stealing electrons from the earth>the very same electrons that protect us from harmful solar radiationGive it back jamal
We need more tater power plants.
I have Ferrell fatigue
>>109073553The battery is powered by the iron rod. When it rusts away it'll stop working.
>>109075699You can power my iron rod if you know what I mean
>>109073301you will waste more energy transporting sea water than generating it.
>>109073553damn freeloaders. that's it, i'm disconnecting my house's earthing rod
>>109073301Doesn't work because is antiseptic to hurt the epstein class profits.
>>109073301It's uploaded by one of those fags that peddle some new "technology that will change the world" every fucking week, therefore it must be a lab prototype that has some critical flaw that makes it useless in production.
>>109073301Now wasting my time on that video, let me guess>research suggests...>lab prototype>some sort of secret special sauce that makes it work>incomplete cherrypicked metrics>no, you aren't allowed to test it yet>zero consideration for actual production and maintenance>has some caveat that they try to downplay but is actually a complete fucking dealbreaker>presented by designers, not engineers>just needs a few more years to iron out the kinks>just needs a little more funding>it'll revolutionize everything, promise
>>109073301For one desalination is not and energy source, it's an energy sink.
>>109073301How could it work? The claim seems to be that it generates electricity and takes salt out of seawater.There are two general ways to take salt out of water:A. Evaporate the water and then condense it. Evaporation takes energy, you can either heat the water which obviously consumes energy, or you can wait for passive evaporation which slightly cools what the water is on.B. Reverse osmosis. You need to pressurize the water and filter it with a super fine membrane. This also throws away about 3 units of water for every unit of water purified.The only one of those that doesn't have an energy input is passive evaporation.But now you need to re-condense the water vapor to make it liquid again. To do this you need a chilled surface, and considerably colder than the water vapor is, so no you can't just loop it around and condense it with the cooling from evaporating it.You can also get at least some to condense by just waiting, but it's slow and your clean water output will be very slow.Now this thing is also claimed to generate electricity. Removing salt from seawater without spending energy is already hard enough, never mind getting electricity out of the process. I'm sure you could design something that evaporates water using sunlight and then lets it condense in the shade, sort of a miniature version of the natural water cycle, but that's just a form of solar power, not a battery.
>>109075545Can you use all the electricity in it and then eat the depleted tater? Why don't we build potato power plants and then sell deplated potatoes at grocery stores? Or is that already being done, and potato batteries made from proper farm fresh spuds make a ton more power than the ones we make from store potatoes?
>>109078318
>>109079556No, that would make you sick as the power is not coming from the potato, but zink that gets dissolved by the acid in the potato. So what you're left with is a potato contaminated with metals.
>>109073594Guy is a fucking parrot, the only one smart enough to actually dissect this bullshit was thunderfoot but he is too busy now seething at elon.
>>109080243>He's too afraid to talk about the capital class broadlylol
>>109080689They're all so intermarried there's no difference. The Rockefellers are as Jewish as the Rothschilds for everyone but rabbinical scholars. There are no goyim above middle management.
>>109079556The resulting potatoes would have no calories after all their energy is harvested, so they wouldn't be nutritious or filling as foods anymore
>>109073301No, dipshit. No.You explain how it works first, you goddamn liability.
>>109081234So what you're saying is we're left with no calorie potatoes that we could make chips out of for almost zero calorie chips? Companies are fucking retarded for not doing this, and the potatoes themselves power the oven
>>109079531that's like saying solar panels can't make energy from sunlight because it also produces heat from the inefficiencies in the process. what a garbage statement. larpers like you need a shotgun for mouthwash.
>>109081624That would be like making Jews gas other Jews
>>109073301i like matt ferrells videos. i used to be subscribed to another baldo eco warrior guy but he was way to sanctimonious so i unsubscribed. matt does a good job
>>109073932The elites don’t want you to know this but the electrons of Earth are free you can take them home I have 458 magnets.
>>109081624The chips would be unsatisfying because they've been drained of their energy, the source of all flavor
>>109073594>guy is a used car salesmanFixed.
